Product Description
Carey's seminal work joins central issues in the field and redefines them. It will force the reader to think in new and fruitful ways about such dichotomies as transmissions vs. ritual, administrative vs. critical, positivist vs. marxist, and cultural vs. power-orientated approaches to communications study. An historically inspired treatment of major figures and theories, required reading for the sophisticated scholar' - George Gerbner, University of Pennsylvania "...offers a mural of thought with a rich background, highlighted by such thoughts as communication being the 'maintenance of society in time'." - Cast/Communication Booknotes These essays encompass much more than a critique of an academic discipline. Carey's lively thought, lucid style, and profound scholarship propel the reader through a wide and varied intellectual landscape, particularly as these issues have affected Modern American thought. As entertaining as it is enlightening, Communication as Culture is certain to become a classic in its field.

If you are going to read one book on communication studies or cultural studies, read this. It presents a theory of what culture is (or in other words, a theory of how communication works). The book is must reading for anyone interested in anthropology, psychotherapy, literature, journalism, foreign affairs....
